The Panic Between Texts

They read it. You wait. Minutes pass. Then hours. Then a spiral. You’re not crazy. That’s your abandonment wound talking.

Let’s get real.
It’s just a message.
But when they don’t reply…
Your chest tightens.
Your thoughts race.
You go from “They’re probably busy” to
“They hate me. I ruined everything.”

Sound familiar?

You’re not needy.
You’re not clingy.
You’re not overreacting.

You’re trauma-responsive.
